- 0:31now what you want to do is select all
- 0:33and subdivide
- 0:35uh you need to subdivide a lot depending
- 0:38on how much detail you want the more you
- 0:40still divide the more details you're
- 0:41gonna get wow but the less you sort of
- 0:44divide the easier it will run so I'll
- 0:46probably still divide it like I'll do
- 0:49like three times
- 0:51and so that's what you do select all go
- 0:53to vertex edit and add a group and
- 0:57assign
- 0:58now you want to go to the modifiers tab
